In another post on Facebook, Keilani urged other teen mothers not to give up, saying: "I just want to say to all teen mothers: you can do it. Please never let anyone tell you that you can't. It is possible no matter how hard it is. Please never give up and be the best mother you could ever be."

She received widespread praise for overcoming the stigma of teenage pregnancy. A follower said: "I'm very proud of you as a teen mom. Many teen moms couldn't have done it."
